Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

recently i started running linux on my pc and have most of my drivers running smoothly. currently i am running suse 64-bit edition and need some help setting up or building my driver information for my 5900ultra video card. in the readme it instructs the user to consult the distros user manual however i didn't not see anything about building driver in either manual. If anyone has some information it is much needed.

that is a simple breakdown on what i have now and again, i have my soundcard and all the other goodies going except for my video cards 3d support. please if someone knows how to build a driver hellp me out.
thanks alot
ryan

i tried that, and with the driver download the readme says to build a driver. it tells you to consult your documentation that came with the distro and i did. no luck. nvidias downloads are not rpms simply text to build the driver.
